Well as expected, Kitty Litter’s work has become #1 on Amazon.com knocking off Unfit for Command. What surprised me is that the Seymour Hersh book moved up to Number 2 or Number 4 depending on which page you look. It was ranked as number 659 just a little more than a day ago. I’m assuming the discrepancy in ranking is due to that fact that one page isn’t updated yet.
While not totally expected as it has been out for a while, Unfit for Command fell sharply down to 7th or 8th place again depending on which page you decide to look at.
I wonder how many books "Unfit for Command" would of sold if NBC would of gave John O'Neill 3 days!
The reviews of Kitty Litter's book are funny. Some idiot is claiming to be a Republican but will not vote for Bush because this book showed him that Bush has no family values.
Sounds more like a "seminar reviewer" to me.
Sounds like a liar to me.
Paul Begala has been plugging Chain of Command on Crossfire, multiple times on each show, for the last few days. I would think CNN would see that as inappropriate conduct and fire him, but maybe they don't see anything wrong with it.
Mad that we challenged a national media icon.
Tabloid, sensational books always sell, like the National Enquirer..."most widely-read in nation", or so they claim.
Just like the people who call Rush and Hannity. "I'm a life long Republican/conservative, I voted for Bush in 2000 but I won't vote for him because (insert DNC talking points)".
Not to worry. The book has gotten it's message across. Look at Kerry's favorable rating in the new thread. 36!
with kudos to cowboyway for the idea.
Is that a good or bad unfavorable...36 seems like a low unfavorable to this untrained, unsophisticated poll reader
Look at the Bright-Side. A bunch of left-wing, Soap-Oprah-watching, National-Enquirer-reading people are spending their cash on these two books and they are not going to change their minds anyway. It's just that much 'less' cash to send to the DNC.
Unfit for Command needs to get back to #1 again
Exceptionally BAD!
LOL, I would ask them... "oh yea, what the 1st general order stated in the Vast Right Winged Conspiracy Handbook?"
Thanks. DO you know what would be considered average..10%, 5%? Just curious, trying to understand this stuff better.
Please!!!!!!!! Neither of these books are going anywhere. All the vermin of the Democrat Party are rushing out to buy these books. Just think of all the trash the scum have written in the last year, and none of it has hurt GW Bush. Give these books a couple of weeks and they will be in the reminder bin, alongside Bill Clinton's tome. Not to worry!!!
LOLOL! Good one!
Just for fun I checked the Los Angeles Public Library's holdings. They have ONE copy of Unfit for Command (to share throughout their 10,000,000 person patron area) and 243 copies of My Life. I don't know how many copies of Kitty's book they'll order, but they've already ordered copies of the CD and audiobook. Nope - no bias there.
As I indicated last evening on the DOSE, we should counter this predictable positioning for the KK book by purchasing the following book:
"A Matter of Character: inside the White House of George W Bush"
[This book is already a national best seller and has risen as high as #2 at Amazon!! Last evening, it was positioned in the 300s (at Amazon), today it is in the 70s -- let's move it back up the charts!!!!]

Hirsch has been on TV lately.
You need to understand all that means is maybe he sold 500 books or 600 books at best. The Amazon ranks are nothing to brag about. Anyone can go from #9 to #75 in a day.
Kelly's book is like a trash bag,open it and it's filled with nothing but garbage!
Not that this is a nationwide trend, but I was at Borders (Madison East) a couple of hours ago and Kitty Litter's book was front and center - and not a single copy had been sold and one of the guys who was helping me said no one's even looked at the display yet today.
They had a half dozen copies of Unfit for Command about five feet away; the cashier told me it had been selling pretty steadily.
Yay, in Madison, the Liberal Mecca of Treehuggers!
Why would anyone want to buy a book written by this woman; much less read it?
<< I wonder how many sales of "Unfit For Command" would have resulted from NBC's Today having featured John O'Neill for three days straight! >>
NBC's ludicrous left-wing lickspittles and their hench colleagues -- Peter Rather, Ted Brokau, Dan Rooney, Elenor Jennings, Sam Clift et al -- and their mobbed-up corporate owners at the various other alphabet media outlets have spent around Two Billion Bucks of their shareholders funds in support of the "DemocRATS" in this
election cycle.
All to no avail.
Their owners' money may as well have been flushed down toilets and their much-vaunted "influence" is -- along with those they champion and the delusional psychosis that is their "politics" -- already in history's toilet.
I was wrong. I said these books would last a few weeks. Sy Hersh's piece of crap lasted one day near the top. It has dropped from number two on Amazon.com to number four in a few hours. Ah, what a wonderful sound that toilet bowl flush is making, flushing Hersh's book into the black hole from whence it came!!!! Kitty, baby, your tome is next. Methinks, you have less than fifteen minutes of fame!!!!
